Mr. Bilby, For the last several years our family has vacationed in Spring Lake, New Jersey. On several of these occasions we have visited the New Jersey National Guard and Militia Museum. I especially, enjoy walking through the many interesting exhibits both inside and outside. On one such visit as exiting the museum I noticed a copy of Civil War News on the window sill. It had your name on the address label. I want to thank you for leaving the paper there as I thoroughly enjoyed reading it from front to back I have always had an interest in the American Civil War and this publication is far and away better than anything else I have ever read. I look forward to each issue as I have become a subscriber these past few years. So thanks again for introducing a museum visitor to a wonderful publication. I would also like to know if you could recommend a book or two on Joshua Chamberlain. I see that there are many out there and would appreciate if you could direct me to ones that you have found to be interesting works. Thank you for your time and consideration. All the best to you and CWN. Joseph Natoli
